The National Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Ajibola Basiru, has taken a swipe at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over a photograph that appeared to show him asleep during an opposition summit in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The meeting, held on Saturday, brought together key figures from opposition parties, who resolved to pursue a united front by fielding a single presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 general election.
Among prominent figures at the meeting were Atiku Abubakar, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and former Governor of Kwara State, Abdulfatah Ahmed.

Reacting to the development, Basiru took to his X handle to share a photo of Atiku appearing to be asleep during the event.
The APC chieftain accompanied the post with a caption that read, “And the opposition leader slept at the all-important opposition summit.”
Basiru also used the same image to respond to another post on X which claimed that the APC had become unsettled following the opposition leaders’ decision to unite behind a single candidate ahead of the next presidential election.
The Ibadan summit is part of ongoing consultations among opposition leaders aimed at forming a stronger alliance ahead of the 2027 polls, as political realignments continue across party lines.
